RE: Line6 Delay Mod Pro or DL4 expression pedals?



Hi,

My looping has (so far) been limited to my DL4, I'm about to get the Delay 
Pro
as much for its extended number of programmes for the delays as for the
looper.
I know that it reduces the level of the previous loop by (is it 5%..) in
overdub mode in order to take care of overloads. I don't quite understand
though what "feedback amount" means when talked about on the list in 
relation
to say the EDP. Is it to be able to be able to control the amount at which 
the
previous loop reduces in level when overdubbing? or is it about feeding 
back
the loop into itself? (or something that I haven't yet understood?). 

Ian.
